I'm with Brenda concerning how effective and innovative the camera angles were 
on TAGS-one of my favorites appears on the episode "Those Gossiping Men" when 
the townsfolk make their pigrimage up to Wibur Finch's hotel room to buy shoes 
in the mistaken belief he is a secret talent scout from Hollywood.  As he is 
fitted for shoes Barney Fife mentions that getting fitted for shoes just makes 
him want to play the harmonica! Then the camera pans in with a funny tilted 
angle for a close-up of a befuddled Wilbur exclaiming "Really???..." I just 
have to laugh when I see that reaction of his. 
Also I think "bread and butter" is a saying that people who are walking astride 
of each other make when they are seperated briefly by an obstacle that they 
walk around seperately.Just being cautious!!!
Did someone a few weeks ago want to know the origins of "Check point chicky"? I 
think it refered to "Check point Charlie' from WWII and the "Chicky" part was 
Barney trying to sound like a hepcat. Didn't he once say "Gas it, Chicky!" to 
the members of Bobby Fleet's band?
